Win XP "Wireless connected" balloons

Nov 10, 2004 1 Replies

Win XP gives me a "Wireless connected" balloon on the taskbar whenever I



wake up my laptop. I'm pretty sure it happens when the screensaver is



running too (in this case the computer isn't hibernating or suspended).



I assume the balloon is raised whenever the wireless link is



disconnected and reconnected? This must mean that the link is broken



for some reason when I leave my laptop...


Is this normal?


Is there a way of turning off this balloon?


Is there a log file in the Linksys router showing connect /



disconnect?

It is probably in Power saving mode, it goes to sleep to preserve the battery. You can turn it off in the driver configuration. System------device manager------network adapters-----select adapter and view properties
